Calm, happy and balanced dogs

You want to improve your dog’s behaviour. You may have tried a number of dog trainers but, so far, those methods just have not worked. You may be considering help for the first time. Or you may want to take your dog’s training to a higher level.

After years of well-behaved dogs, and despite following all the recommended puppy, adolescent and adult dog socialisation and training, I had a dog that was fearful and reactive following a dog attack. Perhaps, like you, I was getting tired of the endless struggles or people always seeming to judge me when out on walks.

Whilst one of our two current dogs was fearful and reactive, our other dog just became a therapy dog. Same owners, same approach, different characters and experiences.

A number of trainers we consulted helped only a little or not at all. There were a few quick fixes but they did not last and following months of research (including reading many many dog training books), I found a better way. We gained our dog’s trust, confidence and respect with a no force, calm, consistent, firm but fair approach. It was so powerful that I took a year to qualify in this method and now help dogs (and their owners) on a specifically tailored one to one basis - every dog, their owner(s), their way of life and each environment are different. I also have volunteered as a trainer at Iver Heath Fields Dog Club.
